Michelle Anderson was a <br /> big help with coordinating with all of the residents for drop-off and pick-up of the sample <br /> bottles. We should know the results of the samples taken within a month or two. <br /> • The water operators have been working to complete the annual preventative maintenance <br /> on the remaining fire hydrants. After the maintenance has been completed, the water <br /> operators will have performed preventive maintenance on 1200+fire hydrants in the last <br /> four years. The private fire hydrants will have had maintenance completed three times. <br /> • EH Renner reinstalled Well#7 last week. We were unable to remove the broken piece of <br /> the motor from the well as it fell to the bottom of the screen; the broken piece will remain <br /> there until the screen is removed. We will be able to put the well back online as soon as <br /> we complete both bacteria samples. I have attached a picture of the piece stuck at the top <br /> of the screen. <br /> • The contractors have started moving into Well#7. I've attached a picture of the area that <br /> has been cleared of brush to make room for the topsoil when it's removed. <br /> ATTACHMENTS: <br /> • June Pumping by Well <br /> • June 2016 Accumulated Precipitation Graph <br /> • June 2016 Daily Temperature Graph <br /> • Picture - Well#7 Brush Clearing <br /> El <br /> P D E D E D D I <br /> Page 1 of 2 NATURE <br /> Reliable Public <br /> Power Provider P-0\VE0.E 0 T o S ERV E <br /> 115 <br />
